Suppose if we get in touch with FIFA they will suspend the red card for a year

Typical me.......................

I wake up most nights anytime between midnight and 2.00am to go to the bog, then I am suddenly wide awake and some nights I can't get back to sleep. So last night I thought, fine, I will get up at ten to one, which is often a time I get up anyway, and I can watch the match because I am usually awake anyway.

So, I wake up ten minutes before my alarm to go to the bog. Happy days! I go downstairs and mash a cuppa, then settle down in the living room, switch the TV on and can't quite fathom out why I am watching some interview with Tuchal. So I sit and watch the waffle for a bit and then they show some of the team coming out to warm up.

Then I blink! 

I am then wondering why the game is in the 89th minute, with England winning 3-2 and they have confirmed 11 minutes of time added on. 

I cannot believe I actually fell back to sleep while all the waffling was going on. I think if the match has kicked off on time, I wouldnt have dozed off. I am so pissed off I missed the game, especially as I had actually got up to watch it!! 

At least I will be in California to watch the quarter final (and semi if we get through) as we go on holiday next Saturday. Not the California in the USA, the California just up the road from Great Yarmouth 

Now I will go back into my hibernation

What a night!

I got up at five minutes to three Greek time to see the game had been delayed for an hour.

I went back to bed and got up again at ten to four.

Watched the match and went back to bed at twenty past six.

It was worth every moment.

What a game and it was a victory for football over unfair play and FIFA corruption.

So pleased we won that one and the Lions showed their teeth when it really mattered.

Well done TT and all the boys.

Well written mate. Totally agree.

It's no big deal. You only missed one of the greatest games England have ever played.

Bit frustrating setting my alarm clock amd then waiting for an hour.

I'm in the pub, flagging though! Wish it would hurry up and start.

Watched at home with the wife, what was the pub atmosphere like? many people go too early having sunday afternoon pints?

[McDurban]

Once I'm out, I'm out, there is no waking up at 2am in the morning.
I did though wake up in time for the 2nd half, thanks to the delay.
Glad I did not miss that, what a game of football.
To win at altitude, at that stadium against the home team and fans.
Remarkable night to remember, a long way from 1986.
Put those ghosts to bed.

Superb performance, shows for once we can be more than nearly men. I thought it was almost a Premier League performance, backs to the wall and dig in. Thought Bellingham for once looked truly world class, Gordon came of age too, they all gave it everything.

Dont mean to be cruel but a pub quiz question in a few years will be "which England player never set foot on the pitch but received a yellow card and was stretchered off?"

MGW doesn't fall over that hoarding and fracture his wrist. Just Sayin.....

[Sausage Roll]

Belgium being allowed to appeal the overturning of Balogun's red card and CAS have set up a special division to deal with in-tournament cases.

What a pathetic and avoidable mess.

UEFA aren't much better but I'd love them to - after this World Cup has finished - announce their own spinoff organisation with all the European teams and anyone else they choose to invite in it.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

To be fair the statement form UEFA is pretty withering about FIFA.
